  • Patent number: 6206471
    Abstract: The present device is a foldable cushion safety seat, manufactured from durable fabric and foam, that would be placed into the seat area of any standard shopping cart. The present invention would be secured to the cart by two VELCRO tabs and an incorporated handle bar cushion extending from the front of the seat when attached to the handle of the cart by a pair of VELCRO tabs also. The device would feature an adjustable nylon strap that, once a child would be placed in the seat, would secure the child in place. A short length of the nylon strap would be attached to the upper section of the safety seat. Once a child would be placed onto the lower section of the safety seat, the strap would then be tightened around the child's mid-section as needed. A replaceable and detachable child guard would protect the cushioned seat from stains.
